DEMO: Defensive Shooting Fundamentals

Defensive Handgun Shooting Fundamentals - Level 1

The Defensive Shooting Fundamentals (DSF) series is the foundation of armed self-defense firearms training. Level 1 focuses on enhancing your handgun fundamentals - whether you want to reliably put rounds downrange on target, or you're building skills for rapid acquisition and engagement of multiple targets from a real-world perspective.

From reasserting proper stance and grip to enhancing your current shooting technique, DSF 1 develops your skills so that:

  1. Your body works with your gun instead of against it.
  2. You learn which intuitive skills work best with your body's natural performance under stress.
  3. You walk away with the tools to practice these skills both on and off the range.

What you'll practice

  • Grip and trigger control
  • Stance and movement (facing and lateral)
  • Holster presentation
  • The Extend, Touch, Press technique
  • Emergency reload procedures
  • Multiple target acquisition
  • Balancing speed and precision
  • Troubleshooting your accuracy

Prerequisite: Introduction to Handgun must be completed first.
Note: Additional DSF level classes are offered by appointment only after evaluation.
